 Hi, everyone. Happy holidays. It is Drew here from Lone Fox. Welcome back to my channel. Today's video is kind of like a two-in-one video, which I am very, very excited about, because the first part of this video, I'm going to be sharing with you guys some super, super cute holiday gift ideas, just giving you some ideas for your family and friends' gifts. And on top of that, what you're also going to want to stay tuned for is I'm going to be sharing with you guys how I'm going to be wrapping a lot of these gifts really, really cutely, because we all love acutely-wrapped presents. I don't even know if cutely is a word, but I just really love a pretty present. Like, I think they look so nice under the tree. And just when you give it to someone, it looks like you put so much more thought into it. Plus, we're all crafters here, so we love a good nice present that takes a little bit more time than just like wrapping it up and throwing it under the tree. And the reason that this video kind of came to be is that Bed Bath & Beyond reached out and they wanted to partner up for a holiday gift video. And I was like, absolutely. Like, this is a company that I've shopped at for so long since I could even remember. My mom used to shop there when I was younger. She still shops there today. I still shop there today. And I honestly do think that Bed Bath & Beyond is one of the best places you can shop for holiday gifts. You guys, like, I swear their store is full of the most unique items I've ever seen, like, that are perfect for gift ideas. Because I feel like, um, gifting can kind of be hard. So if you get someone just something that is so unique and just out of the box, but it's something that they'll use, like, that is the best kind of gift you could receive. And then also, on top of that, I'm going to be sharing with you guys how I'm going to be wrapping some of these gifts. And those are just going to be scattered throughout the video, so definitely stay tuned. Check out these gifts. All of them are going to be linked in the description box below if you are curious, and let's just get right into it. So the first thing I got is actually for my mom. So, mom, if you're watching this, exit out immediately. I'm going to wait. Click out. Thank you. Um, but the first thing that I got her was actually this little set. And these didn't come as a set, but I'm going to be gifting them as a set. So I got her this little terrazzo cheese board, which is so cute. She's kind of been redoing her kitchen lately, so I thought this would be perfect. It has a little leather strap on the top here to hang it on the wall if you wanted to. And I have just been a super fan of terrazzo. So this is a perfect little kind of cheese board for that. It has a D down here because both of our names start with D. Well, mine kind of starts with A because it's Andrew, but I go by Drew versus Delina. So I'm going to be stealing this when I need it, you know? I got her this little set of utensils, which is like a four-piece cheese knife set, which are super cute. They look like this. I'll be putting close-ups of everything so you guys can, like, take a look at it. But I got these because I really, really thought that these were a universal item to get really anybody. If you didn't know what to get someone, get them a little personalized item in the form of, like, this cheese board set because everyone can use this when they're hosting. And at the same time, it looks like you put some thought into it with that little initial right there. So these next three items, which I have right here, are probably my favorite items in this video, or one of them. I am obsessed with these. Like, guys, when you see these, you're going to be like, I need to get these for somebody. These are such cute ideas, and they're also super, super affordable. So check these out. They are literally mini kitchen appliances. How perfect would these be for someone who has maybe, like, a dorm or a small kitchen or, like, a studio apartment, whatever it might be. This first one is a mini waffle maker. This was $9.99. $9.99. Look how cute that is. It is literally a tiny little mini waffle maker. Like, I'm a fan of waffles. This is perfect for me. I just think this is so, so cute. This is a little mini ice cream machine, and this was only $19.99. So you can make your own ice cream. It creates an entire pint of ice cream. Like, just so cute. I just absolutely love this. I'm so excited to try this out. I'm not gifting these to anyone. I'm keeping these for myself. Like, I'm not going to lie, but I might go back and, like, maybe get them for someone. Such great gift ideas. And then the last one here is a fondue maker, which I thought was just great for anyone who maybe likes hosting anything along the lines of that. So I got this little fondue maker. You could put your cheeses in there. I think you could even do, like, chocolate or something like that, and then just have, like, dipping sticks. It comes with all the supplies you need for a little fondue night. So let's jump into the first wrapping style of this video. And what I'm talking about by wrapping style is there are three different styles I'm going to share with you, and that is because I did three completely different, like, styled presents all based with a black wrapping paper. I just felt like black wrapping paper is very unused, and I think it's so beautiful sometimes. So I really wanted to try to wrap my gifts this year in black wrapping paper and just do something a little bit different. So this first one is called Classy Christmas, and I'm adding on a bit of this really pretty emerald green shimmery ribbon and also a bit of, like, baker's twine as well. And I'm just kind of wrapping it around in your traditional bow, tying it in the top or tying it on the top of the present as shown. And I'm using one of these little rifle paper-coe, like, little tags I got at the stationery store, and I'm just cutting that out, adding it on, and also going to add a couple of pine cones for that organic touch, and that finishes off this gift. So I'm sure all of us have that friend that loves wine, or it might just be yourselves. This could be a great gift for yourself as well, but I have a friend, Hannah, who really, really likes wine, and so I got her these items. This is a Brookstone automatic wine opener. So instead of having to, like, use a cork and just do it all yourself, this will open the wine bottle for you, and it also comes with, like, I thought this was cool. It comes with a little cutter for the top of the bottle to get, like, that metal portion off of there. Great little gift idea. Perfect for someone who is a wine fanatic. And then I also got her this, which I thought this was cute on her bar cart. This is, like, a croff, a stainless steel croff. It has a plug cap. Oh! So you just twist it on there, and you can keep your wine in here, and this is, like, a black marble. That's why I got it. I thought it was just a really, really cute way to store it. Maybe if you get, like, a bottle from someone and you're not in love with the label, you can just shove it in here, and it's cute and it's good to go. This is a perfect gift for someone who likes their wine, because why not? Okay, this next gift is so just soft and cozy. Perfect for anybody. This is a blanket and pillow set. Like, great for traveling if you're one that travels a lot. It has a little carrying handle on it, but it's just a super fuzzy, cozy blanket and pillow set. You can use this on your bed. You can use this when you're travel, whatever it might be. I thought this was a great idea. Just if you didn't know what to get. Somebody, like, get them one of these, you know? And I think they also offer this in multiple different color ranges. I got the brown one because I thought it was pretty neutral. And nice. Since I shared with you an UGG item, I actually also got one more because I could not resist how cute this candle is. If you didn't want to wrap a gift, this is already wrapped. Look how cute this is. It's like a shearling little pouch. And then inside of it is the most incredibly scented candle I've ever smelled in my life. Like, me and my roommate have been smelling this for, like, a full week now in preparation for this video. And we'll just pull it out and be like, the day we can like this is going to be just amazing. It's an UGG candle. It's in the smell of, like, sugar cookies. Everyone loves a candle. I think you can not go wrong with a candle. So if that's something that you want to give somebody, this is a great option. And since candles can kind of put you in that relaxed state of mind, I also got two kind of relaxation type of items. This one kind of be just like relaxation or literally getting out of the shower and drying off. But I got this from my mom as well. She's obsessed with robes. Like, it is her favorite thing. This is a Brookstone nap ultra plush robe. It is so soft. It opened it up in the store. And I'm very, very excited to give this to her. She loves robes. And it's something I get her almost every single year for Christmas. So this is just the one I'm going to get her this year. And then I also found this, which I thought was really, really cool. This is a weighted lap and back mat. And I personally have a weighted blanket myself, which I absolutely love. But weighted blankets can kind of be expensive. So this is a great alternative, because I think this was quite a bit cheaper. It was a fraction of the price for sure. And this is just a nice little size. You can just throw it on while you're watching TV, while you're taking a nap or at nighttime, whatever it might be. And these are really, really great. It even says on here, convenient size for travel, great for school, work or cars. I suffer from anxiety. I don't talk about it much on my channel, but I'm just letting you guys know that I do get very anxious sometimes. And weighted blankets definitely kind of like curve the angst a little bit. So jumping into my second style here, again starting off with the black paper base. This one's called rustic boho. And that's just because it features a little bit of a more rustic element. And I'm starting off by wrapping my present just as I generally do. I feel like everyone has a different style of wrapping present. So I feel like the basic wrap is what I'm doing. And then I'm adding on a little sprig of Christmas greenery. This is from Target, and it's actually left over from my wreath DIY in my past video. And I'm adding a little bit of burlap ribbon that I wrapped around two times. And then also a little bit of like a golden baker's twine. And then to finish off the gift and just cover up those bow tied center sections, I'm cutting out this little circle from that stationary set and giving a little bit of a craft edge around it and gluing that right to the center. I kind of have like multiple self-care items, but honestly as I'm getting older, which makes me sound like I'm getting like super old or something, like I have just been loving self-care stuff so much more than when I was younger. You know when you're like 16 and your mom gets you like toothpaste and you're like, eww, what the heck? But when you're like 24 and your mom gets you toothpaste, you're like, wow, I actually did need that. That's kind of like how I feel about these self-care things. Oil diffuser from Bed Bath and Beyond. It is the Aliyah, Aliyah option. And it's just like a gray one with a little wood base at the bottom. It's just like your basic diffuser, probably much better quality actually than the one that I have because mine is just from a very cheap store. Basically you could put essential oils in here and it diffuses them into the air through water. So I also got the pack of essential oils as well. This one comes with lavender, peppermint and liven grass. So lavender is great for sleep. And then peppermint is actually great for the morning time. It kind of gives you energy, which is why a lot of shampoos kind of have that peppermint or minty kind of scent in them. Oh yeah. So you get all three oils in these little containers like this and you just literally take them and just drop a couple drops inside of your oil diffuser with the water and then it diffuses it into the air and just it's a much more natural way to achieve like aroma therapy than like a candle or something like that. And my third and final gift wrapping idea is honestly my favorite one and I'm calling it Modern Farmhouse just because I'm using Platt Ribbon. There is no specific reason why. So this is definitely not like Modern Farmhouse but I just like the name of it for this gift. So I wrapped some Platt Ribbon around the black-wrapped Christmas present base and I just thought this looked super cute on there and I also made sure to V off the ends of the ribbon which basically just fold them in half and cut at a diagonal to create that V shape and this present just screamed natural element. So I added a couple of pine cones which I'm going to glue on and then I also added in two sprigs of this evergreen greenery that's just like faux and that really finishes off this like Modern Farmhouse inspired gift. And then my last two items are kind of random but they're just great little stocking stuffers so the first one is this Asobu I believe that's how you pronounce it Urban Bottle but this is just one of those insulated little bottles that's great for hot beverages or cold beverages. Hot items up to 12 hours as hot and then it keeps cold items for up to 24 hours which is amazing. Maybe even my roommate she actually likes bottles like this and then I also got this little mug cake because all my friends know that I'm a mug cake fanatic like I absolutely love making mug cakes like it's so nice to be able to get a mug whip up some batter in there and then cook it for 30 seconds as opposed to cooking it for 30 minutes and making a full cake you can make your own personalized mug cake and they had a kit for that at Bed Bath & Beyond which I thought was so cute.
